Midnight 36.5.
Temps dropped to 34.0 overnight before light rain arrived. Temp then went up to current 36.0 with light rain.
Gonna be watching and waiting for drops of fractions of a degree today.
Lived in McLean for 8 years a bit south of Great Falls Park. Snow did seem to accumulate well — and better — there. Always enjoyed drive home from work in DC heading north up GW Pkwy to McLean/Great Falls, enjoyed watching how the snowpack got better the further up the Pkwy I got. DC green, McLean white.
Just recently back from the island of Culebra, PR. Last PR island east of mainland PR, before one heads east toward St. John/USVI. We had sunny days 85/ mornings 75.
If you end up being 2-4”, you may be kicked out of bed.

Oh, and only a high of 44 today, imby Columbia, felt chilly. But now at 43 it feels good outside.
A surprisingly low 33.5 for hi temp today. Down to 27 at 8pm. Looks like good night to see some stars from deck. Modtly clear, moonrise not until sometime near/before dawn.
Been noticing how smooth the top of the snow still looks. No footprints. This stuff was/still may be a challenge to walk on and play in up until now, but tops seem finally to be softening some now with warming … plus that increasing sun angle.
Flew outta town to the Caribbean 4 hrs before snowstorm began. Returned 10 days later. Today, another 8 days later, I was finally able to get thru the snowcrete and shovel my front walk. Tough work !
Rainbow clouds are fun. Not rare but a bit uncommon. Ice crystals acting like prisms in high-up clouds. Have used a pic of some I took over my house as my laptop wallpaper for 15 or more years. Not this one shown altho it looks similar. The pic I took is on my laptop upstairs but sending this from my phone from the basement. Not necessarily my fave, just something a little different. Saw one a few days ago while in Culebra.
